According to an article in Southwark News in 2017 the lease will be up next year, 2025. Meanwhile the leaseholder, Stonegate Pubs is looking at re-finanacing a debt of £2.3 billion in July of this year.

The Dulwich Estate which owns the building is very secretive about any plans whilst pocketing an alleged £100,000 every year from Stonegate (which is owned by a hedge fund registered in the Cayman Islands). The building is on the Dulwich Wood Conservation Area. Southwark Council are responsible for protecting the site and have powers to make owners renovate dilapidated property.

So since The Grove closed 10 or so years ago and started to slide into the disgraceful sight it is now, neither the Estate nor Southwark seem to have been able /willing to effect any change.

Or return it to a restaurant pub or even better would be a Superb site and Location for our very own, yes, you guessed it, smack in between Forest Hill and East Dulwich and North Dulwich and West Dulwich and Herne Hill and Tulse Hill, yes our very , very own, no not a diy store but you guessed it, I'm sure you all want a brand spanking shinny new Lidl. I know the idea may upset a minority but the just consider all the benefits it will bring and the majority would be ecstatic to have a low budget supermarket in our locality.

I love Lidl, but that would be a rubbish site for it, and there is one a short bus ride away in Camberwell.

Where I will be heading to get my Christmas lebkuchen ❤️

I'll do an order from Lidl in Sydenham if you ask nicely 😁

Thanks, but I quite enjoy wandering around Lidl and seeing what's in their centre aisle 🤣

Also they have interesting snacky things at Christmas.

Is the one in Sydenham bigger? I can't remember. 

Sorry admin,  off topic. As you were!

Yes, they’re still building 168 new flats , the project to be completed by 2025🤞🏼The scheme will create a new Aldi store, 168 new homes including 36 per cent affordable housing.

This space will rehouse Aldi in a much improved and modernised unit 😀

That’s great news.

    • I think I'm just pedantically quibbling about the use of the term "imbalance", sorry. Maybe all this cleaning stuff they seem to be putting in the pool has affected the pH 🙄
    • Which is usually packed, rammed, parcels crammed and piled everywhere, and long, long queues.   BEFORE the closures.
    • Yeah but the colour of the rosette makes all the difference..?
    • Someone is peed off due to a theft and wanted to vent.  I'm not sure what response they were after beyond 'there there', or put the thief in prison and throw away the key.  I've had a few thefts in the past but not felt the need to share here.  Like it or not but a thread like this is open to some mirth. I was tempted to post after offering a good fridge free of charge on this site the person failed to turn up, and the scrap people cut the compressor and left the rest for me to take to the tip.  But I got over it.  Street WhatsApp shares stuff like this -  generally don't leave thing out in, or near the street, as some will think they are there to take.  I digress..... Looking forward to some witty comments 😁
